        Ooo err!  How dare we leave out "Sputnik Stan" as a high spot
on both A4 and LiS?

        Well, I *liked* "Losing Your Mind?"!  It was fun.  I confess I
still raise a somewhat sceptical eyebrow at "Beam Me Up".  I still think
parts of it should have been made real songs and parts of it left in on
the cutting room floor ... :)

Cheers,
Carl
